Rumen fermentation productions and their relationship with growth performance traits (n = 99). A Associations between rumen VFAs and growth performance traits. Left: absolute concentrations of VFAs, Right: relative abundance of VFAs. The molar percentage of acetate (B), propionate (C), and the acetate to propionate ratio (D) were significantly associated with ADG (Spearman’s correlation, p < 0.05). E Heatmap showing the association between rumen fluid free amino acids and growth performance traits (Spearman’s correlation, p < 0.05). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 BW: body weight, WG: weight gain, ADG: average daily gain, EAA: essential amino acid, BCAA: branched chain amino acid, NEAA: non-essential amino acid
